Colour Inspiration
Aside from its airy structure, the inviting ivory hue of a classic meringue is its most distinctive feature. Burnished with just a hint of toasted warmth from slow baking, the colour of the confection inspired our own Meringue. With its warm tones of ivory and whipped cream, Meringue makes an excellent complement to almost any colour palette or seamlessly layers into a quiet collection of neutrals.
Like our classic White, Meringue can lift and brighten existing colour palettes, but Meringue does so quietly, with a soft lightness instead of drawing a hard, crisp contrast. If you’re in search of a timeless neutral, bring a swoosh of serenity into your kitchen with the easy-going elegance of Meringue. Topped with a cool stainless steel knob, Meringue is traditional and trend-proof, an ideal foundation for whatever inspiration you embrace.
Culinary Inspiration
The irresistible whipped peaks of meringue have always signalled indulgence. The airy treat is practically a visual invitation to celebrate and enjoy. Many stories about the origin of meringue abound, but legend tends to hold that meringue was either created in Switzerland by a small-town pastry maker or invented as a treat for the king of Poland by his pastry chef.
However this magical, cloud-like confection came to be, we do know that, many years later, the renowned French pastry chef Antoine Carême was the first to pipe meringue from a pastry bag, creating beautifully shaped sweets that would eventually fill the shelves of French pâtisseries.
Today, meringue can be baked as stand-alone treats, swirled dramatically to top a pie, folded into cakes for volume, used to build mile-high soufflés or formed into the iconic Australian pavlova. Made from mere eggs, sugar and a bit of acid, meringues demonstrate that simplicity can be stunning. Our colour experts created our Meringue in homage to the beauty of this timeless treat, envisioning that the colour could stand alone in kitchens in lovely simplicity or serve as a creamy base for other colours—much like a meringue itself.
